I CANT BELIEVE IT !
« on: March 04, 2010, 11:42:55 PM »
I CANT BELIEVE IT ! MY STAR TREK VOYAGER MACHINE IS FINALLY IN MY GAMESROOM !

After 4 months of endless hassles (due to an idiot ebay seller who was a moron) my dream machine is finally in its fun place.

Moving the 210 kg monster off the extra wide trailer and up my driveway was no easy task. The rain was about to bucket down and I
wasnt letting it rain on my new toy so my brother and I just muscled the big bugger up the hill and into place.

Overall, I am very happy. There are a few new scuff marks due to the idiot seller not packing it anywhere near acceptable but thats why
i would NEVER ever reccommend a seller on ebay called ARCADEPLANET. At every turn this guy tried to rip me off and never supplied paperwork or anything I needed for customs clearance etc, but i just never gave up. The motto here is just never ever ever give up.

I will post a video when i get 5 minutes but a few photos is all I can muster after a very very long day. Anyway, i am happy i got there in the end.

Hell yes Mark, come n play a game or two on the Trekky Arcade/ Shoot them up. Anyone is welcome anytime, but espescially you. lol.
I better get off my butt and pay for the Sega JP-Lost world you are holding for me, so its here before you come over for a geezer.

Theres a few pinballs laying around here and there as well. My house looks like your showroom. I will blame the medication. lol

Plenty of moonshine, whisky n bourban, plus beer. What a great hobby, alcohol, pinballs and shooting things. Yep, i am in heaven.

Thanks for the kind word guys. Muchly appreciated.  ^^^

According to the Manufacturers Company President (Playteam Inc), it is the only Star Trek Voyager Deluxe Unit exported outside of the USA.

Now i know why, its so big and hard to transport.

When i come home from work, i will play some games after i finish setting it up. And will do a video for everyone.  ^^^
